~/.profile is hidden and well-known for example. The reason to hide it
(visual decluttering, exclusion from '*' in shell operations) is
separate from the reason to have it in a well-known location (standard
configuration interface through a specific filename).

I meant that you had missed distinguishing between a hidden file
anywhere and in a well-known location *in your post*. Sometimes I write
English a little bit differently from native speakers since it's my
fourth language; sorry if that sounded offensive to you.
